Domaine Lafage
Tessellae Côtes Catalanes Vieilles Vignes Carignan
Côtes Catalanes, Roussillon, Languedoc Roussillon, France
Vibrant, pure, balanced and food-friendly. Red-fruited, spicy and retaining plenty of acidity. The mint/eucalyptus component intensified with air. This is a flat-out steal. Buy by the case.

Big ripe fruit, but with attractive graphite edge that makes you reconsider. Easy to love. Muted nose. Medium finish, with some heat. Great with pizza, Indian food, BBQ.

Black cherries and raspberries with a dusty/earthiness to it.

Sep 11th, 2017Bright and fruity, but far from overpowering. I typically enjoy a more earthy red because the fruity reds are too tart. This is not! I would buy it again, especially for the price! Don't take this to a wine snob hosting a cocktail party, but definitely bring it to a summer bar-b-que. A great red for summer, if there is such a thing.

Aug 19th, 2017Big and jammy, tasty but a rather unflattering aromatic profile that smelled like low quality alcohol, good thing the fruit was quality old vines

Jun 19th, 2017Deep purple with dark ruby hue, smells pretty sweet with subtle hints of cinnamon, immediately attacked with cranberry and cranberry juice, tart and decently acidic. Finish runs for around 10 seconds before quickly dissipating. The type of wine for cool Autumn evenings. Would definitely buy again around that time of year.
